Where did 2009 go and why did it go so quickly?

January- We went to Blowing Rock, North Carolina with the in laws.


February- We celebrated with Bonnie and James as they announced that they were expecting their first child. (This picture is from a few months before)



March- The house hunt continued, moms birthday and Stacy's birthday.



April- Alecias Bachelorette Party, celebrated our third wedding anniversary.



May- Nephews first birthday, graduated with BHA and took a cruise to the Bahamas.



June- We put an offer on our house and it was ACCEPTED!!!


July- We closed on the house, 4th of July at the lake, celebrated my birthday and moved into the house the end of the month.


August- The reality of being homeowners sunk in when we discovered a tree branch was resting on our shingles and had rubbed completely though the shingles and tar paper to the plywood.


September- We adopted Toby!


October- Had a lot of fun pretending it was fall in Florida.



November- Cruise with Danecia and a lot of family time.



December- Spent more time with family and finally ordered some furniture for the house!!


We had a wonderful year and are looking forward to what 2010 brings!
